Dear Ervin, Our support group meets at 7:30 at the First Congregational Church on Middlebelt Rd. just south of long lake (west side of the road) on the third Monday of every month (Sept 20 should be our next meeting - I'll keep you posted if you are interested). According to the members of our support group, Dr. Junn is one of the best around. You've picked the right hospital and the right doctor. Don't worry - the folks in our group who have had DBS rave about the results. My husband has seen Dr. Lewitt at Beaumont but his neurologist is Dr. Watson out of St. Joes. When Jamie was ill last year we recognized that he needed a neuro at the same hospital where his internist practiced. Dr. Watson knows Dr. Lewitt (they both taught at Wayne State) so he is aware of any new studies taking place at Beaumont and will recommend Jamie for one of them if anything looks promising for his case. Thanks for writing, Ervin. Please let me know how things go for you - we will keep you in our prayers. ----------- Mary Ann Ryan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
